CXLIII.

Ser.
Ælla is slain; the flower of England's marred!

Æl.
Be still; loud let the churches ring my knell.

Call hither brave Coërnyke; he, as ward
Of this my Bristol castle, will do well.

Knell rings. Enter Coernyke.
Æl.
(to Coer.)
Thee I ordain the ward; so all may tell.
I have but little time to drag this life;
My deadly tale, e'en like a deadly bell,
Sound in the ears of her I wish'd my wife.
But ah! she may be fair.

Egw.
That she must be.

Æl.
Ah! say not so; that word would Ælla doubly sle.
